Chapter 1678 Join forces to confiscate private soldiers
"That's fine." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi deeply. He knew that if Chen Xi had proposed some policy things, he would have prepared the measures many years ago, and then waited for a good opportunity.
I think after this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the era when the aristocratic families have a large number of private soldiers will end. The next era when the private soldiers will be held, it will only appear after the Han Dynasty enfeoffed the major aristocratic families from the Central Plains.
Currently, in Chen Xi's words, internal stability is better than everything. There can be contradictions, but no one except the government is allowed to turn conflicts into war, and he will clean up everything if it exceeds this limit.
From this perspective, Sun Ce and Cao Cao can basically be considered extremely large cancers now, but Chen Xi is preparing to remove these two cancers and throw them on others to poison others, because in order to increase their power, they need to find a more suitable opportunity before taking action.
As for the troubles of the aristocratic family, Chen Xi waved his hand and regarded it as a forced purchase and sale. The fertile soil of the Northeast was so good that the promise of ban was directly exposed to the face. We should clear the money and goods.
After all, the aristocratic family did not gain the merits of the Northern Huns, and in essence they owe Chen Xi the kindness. There was indeed a saying that the land was changed before, but in fact everyone knew that the aristocratic family got much more than what they paid for. Although such a business family liked to do it very much, it also depends on the partner.
He is not as strong as the other party and he still owe such a huge kindness. Although this kindness has the side to force it, under the conditions of becoming a certain fact, the aristocratic family can only bow their heads and admit it. So isn’t this a snatch?
The favors are endless, and sooner or later, they will pay them back with their lives. All the aristocratic families are very clear, so the sooner they are done, the better. However, Chen Xi did not give them a chance at all. Instead, he directly took over their private soldiers. At first glance, it seemed like he was about to turn against him, but as long as Chen Xi could stop, all the aristocratic families would understand.
In this way, although the aristocratic families must have many dissatisfactions, the three parties of Liu, Cao and Sun took action at the same time basically represent the will of the entire Han Empire. Even if the aristocratic families are dissatisfied, if it has become a reality, it is the wisest choice to take the land obediently and go north.
Doing this seems to have seriously offended these aristocratic families, but as long as Chen Xi only takes private soldiers, does not move the main branches of the aristocratic family, only restrains, does not deprive them, and makes promises, it is actually an alternative exchange of interests. Moreover, although this exchange method has a domineering side, the final promise is enough to eliminate all dissatisfaction, and it will also make the aristocratic family owe favors again.
Although this kind of bright bait is like a fool, Chen Xi can guarantee that with his current credibility, there are one family in the world who is considered one. Even the guys who don’t like Liu Bei before will choose to bite the hook.
Chen Xi admitted that until now, the aristocratic families occupied about 60% or even 70% of the state's official positions with their abilities and network of relationships. However, unlike the time of Emperor Ling, the current Han Empire could forcibly peel off these people from the entire system as long as it was willing to pay the price. Of course, if there was no big profit, Chen Xi would never do it.
After all, no matter whether the lower class people are willing to admit it or not, Chen Xi knows that in the current social environment, officials from aristocratic families have more benefits than disadvantages to the overall social environment.
At least until Chen Xi trains officials who can replace blood in the entire bureaucratic system, Chen Xi will never do anything big on this system. Even after cultivating officials who can replace blood in enough blood, Chen Xi will be cautious enough in this regard.
After all, these people have not been broken yet at this time, so there is no need to kill them all. Besides, if they really want to become class enemies, Chen Xi feels that he is a sequence of being defeated. After all, whether in his previous life or in this life, he is considered a vested interest.
Therefore, Chen Xi's positioning is that he will sympathize with these people within his ability and is willing to help them, but if he wants to play moral kidnapping and the Virgin, Chen Xi doesn't mind letting them be destroyed first.
Chen Xi, who seems to be harmless, is the rulemaker at the top of the food chain, and is essentially different from those who have risen from the lower class.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi can dig out the corners of the aristocratic family and leave a channel for promotion for the lower class, but he will never dig it down. On the one hand, he does not have such courage, and on the other hand, it is because the land in the Central Plains continues to grow new aristocratic families.
So stability is the priority, but sometimes it is not impossible to use some radical methods. At most, it is better to make up for it. Anyway, those middle-level people in society should also eat dates while eating boards, saving them the leisure and money every day to make trouble.
"Then let it be. It's just a while. Let's put a batch of cotton coats on it." Chen Xi turned his head and said to Zhuge Liang, then looked at Xun Yu and Zhou Yu and asked, "Is the winter coat you have prepared enough? If it's not enough, I have a batch of sweaters for you."
Speaking of sweater, Chen Xi has started to pull out the wool from the Hu people in the north since the beginning of Mount Tai. Over the past few years, a complete one-stop industrial chain of wool acquisition, textile and knitting has been established.
However, the past two years have not been as easy as before. In the past, a standard Wuzhu coin could charge more than ten kilograms of wool, but now, the standard Wuzhu coin is basically one and one with wool.
The Hu people inexplicably began to use wool as an ordinary equivalent, although those guys had no idea what to collect wool in the Han Dynasty.
The large amount of collected wool is cleaned and screened, and then it is fluffy. After playing it repeatedly, it can basically be used. After that, it is OK whether it is spinning or playing it.
As for the Han Dynasty, Chinese wool was not suitable for textiles, but only for carpets, under the terrible black family of warmth, as long as the material composition is the same, you can achieve the result you want, so Liu Bei already has woollens here.
It was originally estimated that the wool industry of a wealthy merchant would be able to create a wealthy merchant. Due to the mess of the northern family, relying on small profits but quick turnover and cashmere to impact the upper market, the total annual profit was higher than that of any of the five wealthy merchants.
Finally, these northern merchants who were backing the aristocratic family even discovered that this was a gold mine without bottoms. Wool thread may become one of the indispensable materials in the Han Dynasty, just like silk thread and twine.
Unlike silk, it can only be supplied with upper and lower layers. The difference between twine is basically only used in the middle and lower layers. The wool can be used in the entire map, the top cashmere and the bottom thick wool. This thing seems to be able to divide the world in the four major items of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The "clothing" item is a two-part world.
